This bulletin presents the most up-to-date available information extracted from all of the Aviation Statistics Centre's surveys. Regular features include releases on principal statistics for Canada's major air carriers, airport data, fare basis statistics and traffic data for Canada's most important markets.

Passenger air services price index (PASPI) by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Annual data are available from 2006. The table presents data for the most recent reference period and the last four periods. The base period for the index is (2002=100).

Passenger air services price index (PASPI) by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Annual data are available from 2007. The table presents the year-over-year percentage changes for various aggregation levels. The base period for the index is (2002=100).

For most of the post-war period, Canada and the United States have utilized an open regime to govern trade relations between the two countries. Such has not always been the case for transborder air services, however. In 1966, the two countries signed an air services accord (ASA) that governed commercial air services between the two. The 1966 accord was quite restrictive, limiting entry and price competition in transborder markets. This restrictive agreement governed Canada-U.S. air service for almost 30 years, finally being replaced in 1995 with a new ASA that has granted entry and pricing freedom in transborder markets.

In this paper, we will estimate the number of Canadian passengers that are going to "business" and "leisure" markets and whether these passengers have seen an improvement in service since the signing of the Open Skies Agreement.

With respect to the U.S -Canada Open Skies agreement as it pertains to air passenger traffic, the following questions need to be examined. What are the terms of the agreement as they related to air passenger travel? What were the new transborder city-pair routes that came into existence following the signing of the agreement? What were the market shares that U.S. and Canadian companies concerned after the three-year transition period of "Open Skies" and what was the composition of these shares? What is the possible impact of the agreement on various stakeholders?

signed the "Open Skies" Agreement allowing both Canadian and American airlines to establish direct links between any pair of cities located on either side of the border. This opening of air space comes within the scope of the general movement towards free trade with our main trading partner and will stimulate competition among North American air carriers for the largest transborder market in the world. The outcome of the agreement on companies' long-term share of the market remains to be seen. The agreement provides for a three-year transition period to allow carriers to adjust to new market conditions. Although all the agreement's provisions have not yet come into effect, changes in the industry are already noticeable. Since it would be premature to draw conclusions about the impact of the agreement, we focus first on the effect of the pact on the market share that American and Canadian companies have cornered after a year of "Open Skies". Secondly, we study the possible impact of the agreement on various stakeholders. This analysis uses data from Statistics Canada's International Travel Survey (ITS).

Description: The purpose of this survey is to obtain information on Canada's international airline transactions for the compilation of Canada's Balance of International Payments and the Gross Domestic Product. Such statistics are used as a major input in the conduct of monetary and exchange rate policies. Other uses of this data include the development and monitoring of international trade agreements, and in business planning, marketing and institutional research.

Sort help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.

By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
